The captioned webinar will be held as scheduled at 5 pm today (13th
October).
Since the launch of CNH HIBOR and taking over
the administration of HKD HIBOR in 2013, the TMA has been discharging its duty
to uphold the robustness and credibility of the administrated benchmarks. This includes reviewing whether and how to
refine benchmarks administered having regard to international recommendations
and local market conditions such as transforming TMA Spot Rates into
transaction-based and taking over HONIA in 2016.
It is the sixth year that the TMA hosts the
seminar with a view to updating and briefing members the latest development of
major financial benchmarks as follows:
Update of IOSCO assurance review on TMA’s
administered benchmarks Update of the EU Benchmarks Regulation Update of LIBOR discontinuation and
discussion of better preparation Update of recent developments on alternative
nearly risk free rates including IBOR fallback
